In this episode of the Right Hand Drive Guys Podcast, we're joined once again by Mickey Andrade for a look at the next chapter of his automotive journey. Since his first appearance on the show, Mickey has officially launched Roundcat Garage—a passion-driven business focused on building, restoring, and refining right-hand-drive legends while creating products and content for enthusiasts around the world. 
We dive into what it's really like to leave behind a successful career and start over from scratch, the challenges of running a one-man shop, and why building cars for yourself can be both the most rewarding and most demanding path. Mickey also gives us a behind-the-scenes look at an upcoming SEMA build, his growing lineup of Skyline and JDM projects, new product development, and the vision for Roundcat Garage over the next several years. 
The conversation also explores the creative process behind launching a brand, why staying passionate is the key to longevity, and Mickey's plans to return to Japan for even bigger projects. If you've followed his work over the years, this episode is an honest look at what it takes to reinvent yourself while staying true to the passion that started it all. 
🎙️ From rebuilding Skylines to rebuilding a career, Mickey proves that the best projects begin when you bet on yourself.

In this episode of the Right Hand Drive Guys Podcast, we're throwing out the rulebook and sharing some of our most unpopular opinions from the JDM world. Some you'll agree with, some you'll absolutely hate—but that's what makes it fun. 
We debate everything from whether the Autech R33 GT-R Sedan is the coolest RB26-powered car ever built, to why over-modifying a car can actually make it less enjoyable to own. We also discuss up-badging, why tire choice says more about a car owner than most people realize, whether K-trucks are actually overrated, and even question if most '90s cars were really as good-looking as we remember.
It's a laid-back episode full of hot takes, nostalgia, and plenty of friendly debate as we challenge some of the beliefs that have become gospel in the automotive community. Whether you agree with us or completely disagree, we want to hear your own unpopular opinions. 
🎙️ From Skyline debates to K-trucks and everything in between—these are the opinions nobody asked for... but we're sharing them anyway.

In this episode of the Right Hand Drive Guys Podcast, we sit down with Alan and Lupe from the J Spek Projekt to talk about the powerful connection between military service, brotherhood, and the JDM community. What started as a shared passion for Japanese cars has grown into something much bigger—a network of veterans and enthusiasts using cars as a way to reconnect, heal, and support one another. 
We hear how both Alan and Lupe found their way into the automotive world, from deployments overseas and discovering Japanese car culture to building some of the cleanest, most well-known project cars in the community. They share the story behind the J Spec Project, the idea of "Boost Therapy," and how a simple cruise with friends can be just as valuable as any formal therapy session. 
The conversation also dives into the changing car scenes across the country, from Florida to Utah and Oklahoma, the friendships built through JDM culture, and why preserving the sense of community is just as important as building the cars themselves. Whether you're a veteran, an enthusiast, or both, this episode is a reminder that sometimes the best therapy is a full tank of gas, a winding road, and good people beside you.

In this episode of the Right Hand Drive Guys Podcast, we tackle a topic that’s been at the heart of car culture for decades — exhaust systems. From the early days of bolt-on mufflers, Pep Boys fart cans, and local muffler shop specials to today’s high-end titanium systems, we discuss how exhausts have shaped the way we experience cars. 
We dive into the iconic exhaust brands that defined generations of enthusiasts, debate canisters versus oval mufflers, and share our thoughts on what makes an exhaust truly great. Along the way, we discuss everything from old-school HKS systems and Mugen classics to modern handcrafted titanium setups and the differences between mass-produced and custom-built exhausts. 
Of course, we also get into the age-old question: Is an exhaust about performance, sound, appearance, or all three? We share stories from our own builds, compare some of our favorite systems, and talk about why the sound of a car can be just as important as the horsepower it makes.

In this episode of the Right Hand Drive Guys Podcast, we sit down with Eli Tacker from Nashville, Tennessee, to discuss one of the most impressive Honda projects we’ve ever seen — his painstaking recreation of the legendary Gathers Honda Civic race car.
What started as a dream turned into a four-year journey of research, sourcing rare parts, and obsessing over every last detail. Eli shares the challenges of replicating one of Honda’s most iconic race-inspired liveries and how he stayed committed to authenticity throughout the build process.
We dive into the history and significance of the original Gathers Civic, the hunt for hard-to-find components, and the satisfaction of finally unveiling a project that captures the spirit of a true JDM legend. The result is more than just a replica — it’s a tribute to an era of Honda motorsports that continues to inspire enthusiasts around the world.
🎙️ Four years. Countless details. One legendary Honda brought back to life.
